Chen Yi had no idea that the beautiful female group member he'd muted would be so bold. At the moment, he was still happily chatting in the group.
【TMD the Immortal Ascension Tribulation Is Still Chasing Me: Three newcomers, between our group and the 98 group, which is better?】
Being fellow transmigrators, the three newcomers quickly caught the reference.
【Villain Seeking Self-Redemption: You are far superior—how could the 98 group compare to you?】
【The Fallen Genius: How could the 98 group compare to you?】
【I Absolutely Hate Cilantro: I... I'm not great with fancy words, but I'll be honest—Group Leader is the most handsome!】
【TMD the Immortal Ascension Tribulation Is Still Chasing Me: Hahaha, good! Now, introduce yourselves so everyone can get to know you. @The Fallen Genius, you go first.】
After sending this message, Chen Yi couldn’t help but smirk.
No particular reason—it was just that, according to Mu Chen, this guy also shared the surname Xiao and had a fate eerily similar to a certain someone.
However, before "The Fallen Genius" could even begin his introduction, a group notification popped up first.
【Ding! A rescue mission has been generated: Group member 'Cold Palace Stalwart' has transmigrated into the role of a disgraced imperial concubine. Due to her peerless beauty, the emperor has ordered her to commit suicide as part of his burial rites. She is currently being forced to take her own life by the imperial guards and is in critical danger. Her current strength is insufficient to break free from this deadly situation. Capable group members are requested to assist.】
【Combat Power Requirement: 50 million or above.】
【Mission Reward: 60 million points, 3 million group EXP.】
【This mission has been synchronized to the group. All members have 30 seconds to decide whether to accept. If no one takes it within the time limit, it will be forwarded to the public mission pool.】
Though Liu Ruyan hadn’t sent a single message, she had already captured the attention of every group member.
Just like when she had posted her selfie before, she instantly tugged at everyone’s heartstrings.
Coincidentally, it was also at this moment that the two previously muted members were unmuted.
Instead of scrambling for the red packet, these two hopeless idiots immediately rushed to express their concern.
【Runner-Up in the Cultivation World: Baby, hold on! I... I mean, the Group Leader will come save you soon!】
【Unemployed God of Light: Baby, don’t be scared! With the Group Leader here, you’ll be fine!】
Chen Yi: "......"
Seriously? Some things never change, huh?
If you care so much, why don’t YOU go save her?
If you can’t, then stop using me to show off!
Just looking at you two pisses me off!
【A Sword Immortal with Empty Pockets: Baby, promise me you’ll stay safe!】
Oh, so you think I wasn’t talking about you too? What are you trying to prove here?!
Chen Yi was so angry he laughed, immediately slapping them with another 24-hour mute.
【Group Leader has muted members 'Runner-Up in the Cultivation World,' 'Unemployed God of Light,' and 'A Sword Immortal with Empty Pockets' for 24 hours.】
【TMD the Immortal Ascension Tribulation Is Still Chasing Me: Since we have new members, I’ll say it again—this group has a zero-tolerance policy for simping!】
【Group Leader has accepted the mission and will initiate spatial teleportation shortly.】
Seeing the three new members too terrified to speak, Fang Zheng felt it was his duty to step in and explain.
【I Really Don’t Want to Be Sacrificed: Don’t worry, brothers. What the Group Leader means is that normal pursuit is fine, but you can’t be clingy like a lost puppy. Those three embarrassments just now... well, sorry you had to witness that.】
【Villain Seeking Self-Redemption: No worries, I checked the chat history. I fully support the Group Leader’s decision!】
【I Absolutely Hate Cilantro: Bros, if you ever need help, just come to me. I specialize in the Dao of Yin-Yang Harmony—but if your combat power’s too low, don’t bother! Attached: A selfie (Click to view)】
【The Fallen Genius: The one above is a literal goddess. In terms of looks, she’s no worse than Senior 'Cold Palace Stalwart.' I strongly recommend those three seniors go practice their mental fortitude with her!】
【Cold Palace Stalwart: Group Leader is the most handsome!】
【'Cold Palace Stalwart' has claimed 30,000 points.】
【All 320,000 points from the Group Leader’s red packet have been claimed. Luckiest Draw: The Fallen Genius】
【I Really Don’t Want to Be Sacrificed: ?】
【I Really Don’t Want to Be Sacrificed: Wait, hold on—the Group Leader hasn’t even arrived yet, right? Shouldn’t you be hanging right now? How do you have the time to grab a red packet?】
【Cold Palace Stalwart: What’s the big deal? It’s not like I’ll die instantly. Grabbing a red packet to calm my nerves is totally normal, no?】
【TMD the Immortal Ascension Tribulation Is Still Chasing Me: @Runner-Up in the Cultivation World @Unemployed God of Light @A Sword Immortal with Empty Pockets—You three simps, see now? While you were worrying about her, all she cared about was the red packet!】
Seeing the Group Leader take the lead, Fang Zheng immediately followed suit.
【I Really Don’t Want to Be Sacrificed: Exactly! The prettier the woman, the better she is at deception. Wake up already! She’s a woman who survived the imperial harem—you guys don’t stand a chance. Stop deluding yourselves. Be Sigma males—don’t fall into a woman’s trap again!】
【Cold Palace Stalwart: Ugh, what’s with you guys? How could you say that about me? I was just following the Group Leader’s will to teach them a lesson!】
Different worlds, same awkward silence. The muted trio felt like they’d just gone through a breakup—their chests tight, their hearts aching.
Meanwhile, Liu Ruyan was being strangled to the point of her eyes rolling back. The suffocating pressure, like a python coiling around her, made her consciousness fade in and out.
It had been nearly two and a half minutes—why hadn’t that damn Group Leader shown up yet? When Fang Zheng was in trouble, he arrived instantly!
She wanted to hurry him along while she was still conscious, but for some reason, she couldn’t focus enough to even open the chat interface.
Could it be...
Was she really about to die?
The moment she realized death might be imminent, Liu Ruyan panicked. A surge of survival instinct made her struggle with all her might, clawing at the white silk noose around her neck.
But alas, this imperial-grade silk was a magical artifact designed to suppress spiritual energy. With her measly 5,000 combat power, she couldn’t break free—instead, the noose only tightened further, forcing her delicate pink tongue to loll out.
Her consciousness dimmed. Just as she was about to plunge into endless darkness, her life began flashing before her eyes.
So it’s true… people really do see their life replay when they’re about to die...
How unfair… I just transmigrated, and now I’m dying again...
Damn Group Leader… I’ll haunt you even as a ghost… I hate you...
With that final resentful thought, Liu Ruyan felt herself falling into an endless abyss, descending deeper and deeper...
Only after she had already accepted her death did Chen Yi finally step out from the void.
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
